-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8740 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 09:31 am The lines to the east of LB look very similar and are in the same direction as Feeder Finger Damage. A mint worker may have tried to clean this area up, creating a gouge, that is now raised on the coin, in this area. To the west of the LB, maybe a struck through? There is a lot going on, in a very small area. I enlarged you pic, so others might be able to chime in with their thoughts. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Gig99hc Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 9:19 pm Wouldn't Feeder Finger Damage result in raised grooves on the coin? These are gouges, not raised. Not questioning your opinion ( I know how little I know lol), just trying to educate myself. Edited by Gig99hc 02/21/2022 9:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Not questioning your opinion ( I know how little I know lol), just trying to educate myself. They are raised on the coin and so is the obvious attempted correction of the mint worker. The die was gouged by both the feeder fingers and the mint worker, which in turn, creates the opposite raised look on the coin, which you are seeing. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Gig99hc Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 12:30 am Maybe the pics aren't properly showing what's going on, but I can 100% Confirm that they are not raised. The whole area around the LB is lower than the surrounding parts Report this Post to the Staff
Gig99hc Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 12:31 am I also may be misunderstanding...but Iif I run my finger nail across the area, it dips into the well surrounding the LB Edited by Gig99hc 02/22/2022 12:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8740 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 04:39 am The area I'm referring to is to the east of the B and may very well be lower than the LB but is above the field. Now what is to the west of the L, looks like a struck through, which is lower than the field. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95403 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 08:05 am I agree with Makecents here - and that is what I also was referring to. The gouge you lee left of the L could be a grease strike through. (We see Struck Through Grease so much, we have a tendency to ignore them when we see something more interesting to type about.

shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 02/23/2022 01:15 am Inverse your question to "would I buy this coin?" this could guide your interests in the discovery versus the value Report this Post to the Staff
